Costantini, Irene, The Iraqi Protest Movement: Social Mobilization amidst Violence and Instability, 2020 pp. smaller than 0

The author argues that social mobilization in Iraq, especially since 2011, has been politically significant, but not seriously analyzed. Her focus is to investigate 'nonviolent means to promote social and political change in violent contexts', which Iraq amply illustrates.  She compares waves of protest since 2011 and concludes that cyclical violence and political dysfunction are a major limitation on the effectiveness of protest, but that social mobilization also holds out the possibility of more positive political change.

Lists major actions in each movement. Includes analysis and criticism of ‘consent’ theory of power.
